Three kinds of laziness (Tib. ལེ་ལོ་གསུམ་, lelo sum, Wyl. le lo gsum) — factors that are incompatible with diligence.

  1. the laziness of lethargy or inactivity (Tib. སྙོམ་ལས་འཛིན་པའི་ལེ་ལོ་, nyom lé dzinpé lelo, Wyl. snyom las 'dzin pa'i le lo)
  2. the laziness of attachment to negative behaviour (Tib. བྱ་བ་ངན་པ་ལ་ཞེན་པའི་ལེ་ལོ་, jawa ngenpa la shyenpé lelo, Wyl. bya ba ngan pa la zhen pa'i le lo)

  • "Spurred on by the hook of impermanence, you can overcome the laziness of inactivity.
  • The laziness of attachment to negative behaviour can be overcome by thinking about the joys of the sacred Dharma.
  • The laziness of self-discouragement can be overcome by encouraging yourself and bolstering your self-confidence."
